MiPad Case but for me it's called....

a MiBag for traveling!

This was the project I was working on while I was at Winterfest. This bag is really meant for an IPad but I saw it as a great little bag for traveling. It's the perfect size for my wallet, camera and a few other odds and ends I need to take with me. It has an adjustable strap so you can wear it across your body or over your shoulder.

This pattern is by Annie Unrien. You can find out all about her patterns at http://www.byannie.com/. The center panel strip is accented with fabric texturized with Texture Magic also by Annie. I picked this pattern up in St. George which is the hometown of this great designer. Oh, I also accented the front with a wool flower made by Marianne, our wool lady at the Corn Wagon. It has a padded zipper pocket on the back.The bag top has an easy to install zipper which allows easy access while providing protection for your valuable items tucked inside.Inside is a slip pocket for a cell phone or other items. For my pocket I seperated it to hold a pen and my phone. The fabric line I used is called Toni from designer Rosemarie Lavin for Windham Fabrics. I can't wait to get it all packed up for my trip, which by the way is coming awfully fast.

About Me

My hands are always busy, this has led to many crafty endevers, interior design, paper crafting, or sewing, but my favorite obsession is quilting and making bags. You can just call me an "Old Bag"! My husband, Stuart and I are empty nesters who like to travel in our 5th wheel trailer and spoil our three kids, two son-in-laws, one daughter-in-law and five darling grandkids. (if there's any money leftover from buying fabric!)
I work at Corn Wagon Quilts in Springville, Utah. The perfect job for me. I teach quilt and bag classes for the Corn Wagon and Dave's Bernina in Provo and St. George, Utah. It's a good thing we don't have to live off what money I make, 'cause you know it has to buy fabric! Glad you stopped by, pull up a chair, a diet coke, chocolate and lets get accquainted.

"The desire tocreate is one of the deepest yearnings of the human soul. No matter our talents, education, backgrounds, or abilities, we each have an inherent wish tocreate something that did not exist before .... creation brings deep satisfaction and fulfillment. We develop ourselves and others when we take unorganized matter into our hands and mold it into something of beauty ..."

This is my husband Stuart. This is who I share my nest with. He likes the outdoors, hunting, guns, and ME! He is a wonderful cook (am I lucky or what?) He is a fun, kind and loving father and grandpa. I'm so blessed to have in my life.
